One thing I've always noticed about C-Dory boats is that they aren't very
beamy. I think Louis could expand his search to include other Pacific
Northwest boats such as Arima (www.arimaboats.com/frames)

I like the 19' Sea Ranger - reasonable deck for a boat of it's type -
reasonably wide at 8' - nice boat.

Yeah, I really like that about the Arimas. Even the 17 footer has an 8'
beam -- shaped like a pumpkin seed, but very stable.


and Sea Sport (www.seasportboats.com).

They look like Pacific boats only in fiberglass.

It's funny how the manufacturer's up in that area of the woods, even
the ones who make aluminum boats, all seem to work off the same design
concepts.

Then again, a lot of the East Coast boats look alike.

I've always found the regional looks interesting, too. You can see it in
commercial fishing boats and tugs, too. I guess they evolve to suit the
area.
